Chapter 2070 — How to Ask
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao did not understand why the aura about Wang Xinyan had such an enormous effect on him, but it did not matter that he did not understand—so long as there was a result, that was enough. And so Wei Zhao missed those several nights.
Only, after returning, Wei Zhao could hardly go pressing close to Wang Xinyan again, let alone embrace her. Especially now that it was late autumn and the weather had turned cold, Wang Xinyan wore more clothes, so the fragrance within her body could not seep out. Although Wei Zhao sat at the same desk with Wang Xinyan every day, he gained no benefit from that fragrance.
But surely Wei Zhao could not ask Wang Xinyan to strip off all her clothes and come to class in loungewear? Not only would that be cold, but if others saw her, they would think something was wrong with her.
Still, such opportunities could not be sought, only encountered. Fighting low-tier experts naturally offered no limits, while fighting high-tier experts could not go too high—that would be a one-sided beating, and how could he possibly break through?
After much thinking, Wei Zhao still felt the first method was more reliable. But how was he to broach the matter with Wang Xinyan?
Watching Wang Xinyan sit quietly beside him reading a book, Wei Zhao did not quite know how to begin. The more he thought, the more he found himself losing focus.
Though Wang Xinyan was reading, with Wei Zhao staring at her like that, she could hardly fail to notice. At first she had assumed Wei Zhao was merely glancing over and paid it no mind, but afterward his gaze never shifted away, and she grew rather uncomfortable and embarrassed.
"Lin… Wei Zhao, is there something you wanted?" Wang Xinyan was too embarrassed to say outright, What are you staring at? So she chose a different way of asking.
"Ah…" Wei Zhao came back to himself, suddenly rather embarrassed. "I was thinking about some things just now, so I drifted off… But there is indeed something I wanted to ask you…"
"W-what is it…" Although Wang Xinyan had heard Wei Zhao's explanation that he had drifted off, she was still somewhat flustered. Being stared at by a boy for so long, how could she simply calm herself at will? Especially when it was a boy she rather liked…
"The fragrance on you…" Wei Zhao felt that asking such a thing was a bit like prying into a girl's privacy, but it concerned a major matter of his cultivation, so he had no choice but to ask.
"Ah…" Wang Xinyan's face flushed at once. During the military training before, Wei Zhao had never brought this up, and now he had suddenly raised it today, which made her feel rather caught off guard. "You… you noticed the smell?"
